by Helene Tiedemann (18?? - 1907), as Leon Vandersee

Noch bin ich jung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Noch bin ich jung -- noch will ich leben!
Mein Herz hat Heimweh nach dem Glück --
Ach, einmal noch die Flügel heben
Und in die schöne Welt zurück!
 
Da draußen lacht der Lenz, der holde,
Im Himmelsblau und Waldesgrün!
Der Becher [glänzt]1 schäumt im Sonnengolde,
Und tausend duft'ge Blumen blüh'n!
 
Hinaus, hinaus, dem Licht entgegen --
Mich tötet die Gefangenschaft!
Ach, einmal noch die [Schwingen]1 regen
Im Vollgefühl der Jugendkraft!
